BrightStor ARCserve backup version 9 available
MUMBAI -- Computer Associates has announced the general
availability of version 9 of BrightStor ARCserve backup,
its industry leading data protection solution. The
new version combines ease-of-use, reliability and
performance with simplified licensing.
The
solution allows customers to plug in separately offered
options and agents to develop a fully customised,
distributed solution for virtually any environment,
regardless of platform. This makes BrightStor ARCserve
backup far easier to configure and deploy than competitive
products that require customers to buy separate versions
of backup products to support platforms. Early usability
test conducted by CA has demonstrated that up to 80
percent of inexperienced users could perform their
first data backup within 20 minutes of opening the
product packaging.
Version
9 minimises the impact of backup processes on enterprise
by allowing technicians to specify separate network
paths for backup tasks- thereby isolating massive
backup-related file movements from critical business
transactions. In addition, new scheduling capabilities
significantly reduce workloads by enabling storage
administrators to automate a full range of routine
tasks, including drive cleaning and database maintenance,
in the same manner as they currently schedule routine
backups.
The
solution will be available through CA's network of
authorised channel partners, and has long been a favored
solution for resellers, integrators and storage management
specialists. With the new version, CA will be offering
a special maintenance bundle that includes 24x7 technical
support and upgrade protection.
Version
9 of BrightStor ARCserve backup is immediately available
and Microsoft certified for Windows, Windows 2000,
Windows XP and will support .NET server upon Microsoft
announcement and availability date. BrightStor ARCserve
NetWare Version 9.0 of BrightStor ARCserve backup
is also available immediately while BrightStor ARCserve
Linux Version 9.0 is expected to be available in January
2003.
